Last part
When you think the writer can't make more mess to the story. Yet they still manage to ruin the whole thing with the ending... One of the most illogical ending the writer can possibly come up to. My head really get headaches after wacthing this whole series.Not only the writer give no explanation about the whole thing in the last season/part. They even added such illogical conclusions....
UGHHHH!!!! I'LL GONNA SCREAM & CURSE VERY LOUDLY!!! Just don't read my review if you don't want get big spoiler about the ending
====================BIG SPOILER ALERT====================
The messed up ending!!!
* They lived happily in the end. Forgetting about everyone outside the household. This season/part talk about NO ONE outside the ML family. Including the emperor. He just dissappear into thin air. Never discussed again. No matter what grudge the emperors had with our ML, the writer just decided to finished the story in this season/part. So they simply just erase the part of the emperor.
* What the h*ck with the illusion that FL's dad give them? What's the h*ll what's that???!!!!
* How come in the end Chu Liu Lun that get into the throne???!!!! What happen with the crown prince???!!!
*And the biggest one how come in the end ML that come to the world that FL lived. And we only get blurry image of it too... Why not make they hugging in the future time to wrap the whole thing.
Overall long time not getting headaches after watching drama like this. I rated the whole series 2⭐ I guess....

Part 2
Wow just wow.... Really long time not find this serious historical c-drama yet full of fun and very binge worthy. I think this is the first one this year. Once again I'll not gonna talk much about character or description, because many already wrote about it. So let's just jump to what I like & don't like about this part.What I like:
+ All the puppy eye. Oh seeing that lovely dovey sparkling in Cheng Shao Shang / Niao Niao (NN) & Ling Bu Yi / Zi Sheng (ZS) eyes every time they're seeing each other. How every time ZS face became soften when he see NN. And many intimate scene that make me want to scream to my screen "KISS KISS KISS, Oh my God Kiss please!!!" Haha.... I have to say their chemistry really top notch. Maybe one of the best CP for Zhao Lu Si...
+ The best emperor couple. Well the emperor family is far than perfect, with almost every child is spoiled brat or soft as hell, except the 3rd prince of course. But emperor, empress & consort is one of the best in historical c-drama. They each have their own spot without need the feel to snatch the other, no jealousy between empress & consort like usually do. Of course they're not the main couple so I think there's no need to go there. But still, the harmonious between empress & consort not often we see in dramaland.
+ The funny emperor. Oh the emperor so so funny. I still can hear how he scream in last ep, where he shout that the marriage between NN & ZS is not valid without him. Or when he mischievously give 'strike punishment' to ZS, the one supposed to be very touching scene where NN finally admit and cry over ZS become quite funny with his comment regarding the reaction NN give when she witness ZS punishment.
+ The soft & kind hearted empress. The mother figure for our NN. She gives all the love to NN that she never get from her own mother. In return NN gives her all the care, love and attention to her.
+ The quick mouth but kind consort. Oh so funny to see how her mouth handle Princess of Ru Yang.
+ The statement don't judge the book by its cover really materialized in this drama. I never really never expected to see that the crown princess actually have grudge heart, or how crazy Luo Ji Tong will be.
+ Finally all the question about why ZS have that grudge toward his 'dad' answered. Oh one very dark past it is....
What I don't too like:
- You can say this is just my prejudice, but sometimes the emperor is just to kind. Like how he easily persuaded given lighter punishment by NN or ZS toward someone guilty. Correct me if I'm wrong, because quite frankly sometimes I quite confuse with all the names, Haha. Like for examples when Wang family problem, doesn't NN persuade him later on... Or regarding ZS's problem itself, when ZS finally decided to murder his 'dad' (Ling Yi), in the end ZS not really got any harsh punishment. Yeah2 I know we all glad about that. But as an emperor he is just too kind for me.
- Like PeachBlossomGoddess wrote I also feel the written for the bad guy, the key person in term of ZS grudge about the extermination of his family years ago, not as good as all the not so important young woman. There for I sometimes quite confuse why or what his connection with that incident years ago.
- Quite agreed with Kate when she wrote how 'ZS had literally such a huge support system, and he willingly refused to use it.' I mean come on the last act when he decided to murder his 'dad' the night before the wedding is completely out of sense. Toward the drama we can see how biased the emperor toward ZS, yet he still decided to act on his own instead just give the emperor all the fact that he know. Maybe if he believe the emperor like how the emperor believe & protect him, maybe the emperor just can give punishment to his 'dad' regarding everything. In my opinion that's how biased the emperor toward ZS.
- And yeah also like Kate, I also feel the separation & mature NN in the last episode not really taking a big part. If only they shorten few ep regarding the 5th princess or unimportant young woman would be better.
Overall for me this still a very good drama this year, but yeah read some comment & review also make realize how many holes & deficiency this drama has. But in the end I still this drama total score 9 of 10 for both part. :D

Too many thing happen
I don't know exactly what happen, but this drama leaving me at the edge of bad rating. I think maybe the storyline quite busy with everything happen until don't know what to make of the focus of the one big plot. If you want to say this about warlords begin to seize their powers or about Feng Shi Zhen try to just seek revenge or her family history or just about Rong Family at the end that's not really the case...What make me hang on till the end is Timmy Xu as Rong Jia Shang (JS). Really like him to act as the boy whose at the age to reach adulthood. The way he act when he tries to find his place in this world. How he handle the love he has toward Feng Shi Zhen (SZ) who is older than him. And how he handle his family problem. Really catch my attention.
The plot overall just messy all over the place.
> Meng Xu An feud with Rong Ding Kun & his sister's kids
> The history of Rong Family
> The Revolution party act at the end of the drama
Don't know but for me this overall just another drama to watch.

drama like movie
One simple drama with each ep around 5-10 min, feel like watching 2 hours movie than drama.What I really like: because this very short drama, so they don't stretch it into unbearable plot. Everything just on the spot. & the actor/ess play they character good, especially Xu Dan as Gu Fei Er, sometimes really want to slap that face, really one smooth snake...
What I don't really like: They make the ending kinda open, with not much explanation about something...
Overall does this worth to watch...? Yeah in my opinion this still worth ur time to watch.

Another drama from Zhang Wan Yi, I’m curious. Let’s watch…Story about mistreated children of Luo family, Luo Yi Ning (YN) & Luo Shen Yuan (SY). YN is a legitimate daughter of the Luo family, but she’s not a favorable child of her father, she still gains all the respect in the family because her grandmother (Madame Luo) hugely favors her. While SY is the legitimate son of the Luo family, where everyone underestimated & looked with one eye.
The story begins with the return of YN to the main house to celebrate her grandma’s birthday. In the house, SY safe YN from her father concubine trap, that’s made YN indebt with SY & since that day, YN determine to help SY climb in favor at the Luo’s family.
Each day YN & SY grew closer with each other, and YN found many good qualities in SY that no one ever knew about. And since MDL already wrote in their summary, one day SY learns that YN is actually not their father's biological daughter, and that of course makes SY have different feelings for YN. But YN still doesn't know about the fact, that’s make SY had to hide his feelings while still acting as a good brother to YN.
SY & YN grew closer and closer with each other, as they tried to solve the mystery of YN’s mother & SY’s teacher death. And all tapered about politics and intrigue in the palace. So… How they manage their feelings & uncover all the mystery in this drama…
What I like:
+ I don’t too impressed with Ren Min in The Longest Promise, but here… Her acting is more natural & much better overall.
+ The good old grandma. Sometimes grandmas are the best in dramaland… Haha…
+ One of the best main wife. I really like Lin Hai Ru as the main wife.
+ The cute Lin Mao (LM) & Luo Yi Xiu (YX) as a couple. When I watch the clip from YT I kinda hope YX will become pairing with Han Zhao, cause you know for once, kind hearted chubby supporting roles get paired with the prince. But in the end, I’m happy LM got together with YX. They understand & respect each other.
+ How each child shows respect to their parents. Like no matter how bad SY’s dad mistreated him, in the end he was still his dad. Or like when YX’s mother did something horrible, but in the end all of her children still acknowledge her as their mother.
What I don’t like:
- How they force the bad guy. Hm… I feel like in the end the bad guy is half baked & the ending kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
- The relationship between SY & YN. Oh I know how they try to sell it as romance. But you imagine, the one that you thought of as your brother for several years, suddenly not your brother & you also find out he knew about the fact all this time & he got feelings for you… It’s kinda disturbing….
- No one really bothers about how easily YN moves family / household. Haha… Like no one really gossip about that fact…
Overall this is a good drama to watch

Customers come from different parts of Japan with one mission in their mind, “Search for food with memories”. Customers who come only relying on a single line advertisement in “Spring & Autumn Cuisine”. Those who come to this restaurant looking for food from their memories and all that memories bear troubles of the seeker.

Customers who eat the “food with memories”, which are the fruits of the efforts of Koishi and Nagare, will leave Kamogawa Restaurant, finding the answer for their question & trouble…
But except to answer all the customer’s troubles, Koishi and Nagare themselves have problems that need to be answered along the way….
Below I’ll write about each of the dish that was recreated by Kamogawa Restaurant.
1st dish:
Looking for meat and potatoes cooked by late mother. Date Hisahiko looking for the dish cooked by his late mother. After his mother died, Date’s dad remarried to a new woman & also brought a girl along. Date and his step mom are not close, he even feels his step mom treats him and her real daughter differently.

2nd dish:
Tonkatsu. Hirose Suyako looking for a dish for her sick husband. Her husband longs for the Tonkatsu & Suyako wants to give it to him before it’s too late. After the investigation done by Nagare, Suyako finally knows the reason her husband longs for the dish.
The message from this episode: ”A marriage couple bond's that can't be broken by farewell or distance.”
3rd dish:
Spaghetti. A memory with grandpa. Mizuki Asuka looking for a spaghetti dish she ate with her grandpa when she's little.

6th dish:
Beef stew. The one that got away. Nadaya Nobuko once met a boy in her youth, the boy that brought her to the restaurant that served beef stew dishes. They've been in correspondence before, but upon meeting the boy just suddenly proposing to her, that's shaken her & she fled. Now in her old days, she begins to recall everything & one question about what if suddenly shows up in her mind. It's not mean Nobuko is regretting her life, but that ‘what if’ is still lingering in the air.
7th dish:
Noriben. Made by father. Kitano Kyousuke's father can't cook but he still made bento for him everyday. Noriben only consists of Nori, Seaweed & may consist of some other side dish, and in Kyousuke case is umeboshi. Kyousuke always thought his father was a lazy man who wouldn't learn any other dishes. Although it seems simple, after learning about the dish, Kyousuke realized how much effort his father put into the dish.
8th dish:
Fried Rice made by mother. Shirasaki Hatsuko wants to cook her late mother dish for her boyfriend. A simple dish made by a single mother who didn't have too much time, but still thinking about her daughter.
Overall this really one warm drama about every dish from our memories that have special meaning for us.

Watch this from MDL 2024 Watch Challenge and also for Zhang Wan Yi & Wang Chu Ran. What a fun ride. Story about Liu Mian Tang (MT) & Cui Jiu (CJ). Our story started when MT woke up from a coma, and she forgot everything in a period of time, the medical term is selective amnesia. MT forgot about the 3 years period of time, the last thing she remembers is that she’s going to marry a man named Cui Jiu. And as it happens, Zhao Quan called our ML as CJ, so MT just assumed he is her husband. But soon we found out, CJ is not MT's husband but Lord Huai Yang & he happened in the pursuit of a criminal & thinking that MT had connection to the criminal, so CJ just played along with MT and pretended to be her husband.
That’s the beginning of our ML & FL story. Yeah, it all starts with a lie. But as the story went forward, CJ started to have feelings for MT when CJ felt that MT really can understand him & his thoughts. And over time, MT also helped CJ when they went to war. Together they accomplish and do a lot of stuff together, making their feelings, especially CJ deeper and also build up a lot of guilt over time.
One day, MT’s memory returns, she remembers everything. And as it turns out, MT’s identity is not as simple as CJ thought at first. And that complicated their relationship & in the end they just separated. And that’s the first half of the drama….
Move forward to the next step. CJ & MT meet again. CJ still can’t forget MT & start pursuing MT again, this time to make her as his real wife. But CJ also had a greater love rival, which is the Emperor himself. So, how in the end this love trial moves….
While CJ, MT & the emperor had relationship problems, at the same time, they also had one common enemy. So apart from the love problem, we also start to dig deep into political schemes.
That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoilers. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ The chemistry between Zhang Wan Yi & Wang Chu Ran. I like how CJ & MT have mutual understanding, respect and support for each other. It’s so funny to see how they easily & have no need for words when they need to role play that they fight with each other, but the truth is the opposite. Like when they tackle the critique when MT first comes to CJ home to greet the elder.
+ He Zhen (HZ) & Zhao Quan (ZQ), is one cute second couple. It’s something unpredictable but yet so predictable. Never expected they would go together, but after watching, yeah seeing how ZQ respects HZ, no wonder that HZ’s heart will melt for him.
+ Shi Xue Ji (XJ) is an amazing empress. She’s really fit for the role. Her tacit understanding of Zi Yu (ZY) is really admirable.
+ Mutual respect that is not that easy to gain. Hm… don’t know how to put it into + or -. But the way the writer wrote about mutual respect is more of something (+). Like, how MT in the end gains respect from CJ’s mother, or XJ & ZY, or HZ & ZQ, or ZY & CJ.
+ The way they plan to trap the bad guy. That's one pretty scheme
Overall this is one good drama. I think it’s been a long time since I really enjoyed watching dramas as much as this one & also many scenes of this made me laugh.
Below I'll write what I don't like, but that also means SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it at ur own risk.
==================================================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================================================
What I don't like:
- The political scheme is a little stupid & unclear sometimes. And the worst when ZY suddenly become the emperor. What happened to the queen mother and child emperor…?
- The confusing time stamp. Like when MT separated from CJ, how long it’s been. I first think it’s been a few years, cause it’s also happened the same time ZY became emperor. But the woman that gave birth, her child, is just a few months old. In my opinion that’s a little impossible to achieve. But yet like I wrote in the first point, the political scheme is a little stupid & unclear sometimes.

My Dec 2024 Recommendation Challenge
Long time heard about this one, but quite hesitate to watch it cause I don't too fond of Z-Tao. But I'm glad for the recommendation challange & MIMI who pick this drama for me...Story about Qian Wei (QW), a girl who feel failure about her life. She graduate with law degree, but failed the bar exam made her no choice but to work as a paralegal & assistant for her classmates & rival in university, Lu Xun (LX).
One day buy miracle, QW back to her university days & had a change to restart every thing about her life. So with the knowledge of the future, QW start to 'fix' her life. QW start to take every opportunity that's been lost in her youth, the opportunity to be the lead, instead of her 'rival' LX.
But when QW start to experiencing all of it again, she start to notice all the thing she never noticing back in her youth. Like all the things LX did for her back in the days... Knowing all of it now, make all the impression & feeling QW had for LX all these years changing. And in the end they even began to be in a relationship.
And because MDL already told us, that QW is in comma & only having 'dream'. When all the thing start smoothly in QW favor, QW & LX relationship start to having problems. And that's when QW finally awake from her comma & dream.
In real life, QW who just been awake start to feel a blur between dream & reality. At first, she having mixed feelings & memory between her dream & her own past. But slowly her memory start to come back & she can differentiate more of between her dream & her own past.
But she soon realized all the things in her dream start to be the truth in her life too. Like, when Qian Chuan got a word of advice from their dad about his life after the incident, turn out to be the truth in real life (QW before didn't know about this fact, she knows in from her dream). Or like when Liu Shi Yun open the noodle shop.
With all of the event in her dream start to become reality, QW realized LX feeling for her also must be the same with her dream too... So QW start to challenging LX feeling for her, just to be slap with LX strong-willed to hide his feeling for QW. So... Who will win in the end...?? ^^
That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoiler. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+Z-Tao really good here. Really fit for LX. Haha... I really like his character here. Although LX kinda stupid and so d*mn stubborn to hide his feelong for QW. But I really like the scene when LX admit his feeling for QW.
+ I really like Song Zu Er too... I like how she can act differently between the youth QW and adult QW.
+ They give us a a little show about attorney job, but not really bore us with all the detail.
+ No stupid love rival. Oh they have stong love rival, QW's ex, Li Chong Wen (CW). But I really like how he knows his place & not becoming the evil and stupid EX. And the feeling of threaten that CW brought for LX is quite funny to watch.
+ The friendship. In the end, the friendship of QW, Mo Zi Xin & Liu Shi Yun is really one good friends till the end.
What I don't like:
- The stupid stubborn LX when he really try to hide his feeling for QW. Frustrated to see the writer stalling us for a few episode just to see how in the end LX give up and just confess.
- The stupid antagonist. I know she doesn't want to dirtied her own hand, but the action of her feel half-baked. I don’t kbow how to put it in words.
Overall this one fun drama to watch...

Short drama
Zhao Yi Qin is one of the pitiful actor in my opinion. He's not so bad, in term of acting, but his big 'boom' in drama haven't come yet. So yeah we much see him in short drama & he is one of the good face to be seen.... With him in short drama, at least I know, the drama will not too bad.But unfortunately this time, not so much...
The story nothing too new... 2 sibling hate each other, parents always defend one against another. And of course they're fighting over the same guy, that's in the end make the elder sister [Ning Xi (NX)] framed by his own sister.
NX got drug one night, and slept with an unknown man, thinking it's her boyfriend, Su Yan. As the result, she's pregnant. One day accident happen & she can't preserve his pregnancy.
Five years later, she's out for revenge against the ones who betrayed her and aims to fulfill her dreams in the process. Fate leads her to a man who helps pave the way.
That's pretty much the story... Feel like your everyday tik tok video right... Haha...
Now the bad part...
Even for short drama, this is one bad editing. I don't know from where the heck they pick the responsible man to do the job. It like a result of student who just learn to do the editing. I even can say for sure, some YouTubers still better do the editing than this man....
So they must say thanx to Zhao Yi Qin. If not him i don't know what score will i give this drama....
Overall this just another short drama. 16 ep with 4 min each, so it's about 64 min total.

Long time heard about this drama, finally watch this.For short drama, this is quite good. Have beginning, middle and ending. But as usual with short drama, this also had it's shortage.
Story about Xiao Hong Ye (HY) and Gu Meng (GM), a couple that even though love each other but had family grudge toward each other. Xiao family alienated by Gu family & for revenge, HY also alienated Gu family, just left GM alone.
The story start when GM try to kill HY but unsuccessful & hit her head, causing her to get amnesia. Since that day, HY captivating GM in his house & their journey begin...
The silly story about how you can't change ur feeling even though ur memory already been erased. GM a few time lost her memory & everytime she keep falling for HY.
I quite like the chemistry between Guan Chang & Li Jiu Lin. And the quality of this short drama actually not really bad. But unfortunately a few times I feel they have several more scene that don't include in the final edit. And it make me feel like watching jump scene & that's sometimes make the logic didn't make sense. Like how HY so defense GM after GM took the bullet for HY.
But overall for short drama this quite good drama to watch.

Beautiful story with badass FL
Really really happy to watch this drama. Really sad when it's over, I just want to keep watching them, not ready yet to say goodbye... Really hope what in the final scene is really happening.... :(In this drama we get friendships, brotherhood, maturity of a character & yet the perfect examples of people foolish & selfishness and every character imperfection.
In here we got very badass FL that not often we see in dramaland. Ren Ru Yi (RY) is one ruthless killing machine that usually move by herself, trust no one but once she trust someone she's willing to risk everything for that person.
Ning Yuan Zhou (YZ) as ML on the other hand is a perfect spy & leader that everyone looked up to.
Together with the task on hand, to save the King of Wu Kingdom that's been capture by An Kingdom, start their journey. And in this journey also come YZ's brothers / companion & Princess Yang Ying, who disguised herself as a man / prince.
What i really like about this drama:
+ How RY shamelessly tease & seduce YZ at first. At first, her goal only to have baby with YZ, not make YZ be her husband. Haha... She got a 'task' from Empress Wu to have baby instead husband, so yeah she's try to complete that 'task'.
+ But of course with given time both RY & YZ start really falling in love & have trust with each other. Really like the growth of their relationship.
+ The badass Princess Yang Ying (YY). Oh this maybe one of my most beloved support character. Really like the growth in YY's character. She's really grown from scaredy & childish princess into amazing prince & in the end amazing princess & woman. The aura when she must act as the prince is really something. And I really like how in the end, when she get back home to be with the 'family' she still became herself, a little chilish & spoiled.
+ All the brother of YZ's group. From playboy Yu Shi San, to the stoik Qian Zhao, to the youngest Yuan Lu & the foolish Sun Lang. I really like to see how they interact with each other. How they sometimes act like a woman who like gossip to how they act like boys when they decide to make fun of Li Tong Guang jealousy.
+ The growth of Wu Di [Emperor Wu]. He also grow from selfish brat that doesn't care about everyone else except himself to someone that have remorse & decided to do better.
+ Xiao Yan [Empress of Wu State] & Chu Yue (CY). 2 strong & interesting woman. I really like to see the relationship between CY & Shi San.
+ Alen Fang... I really like Alen Fang as Yu Shi San here... I think this is the best role for him
+ This drama had one of the best sword dance... Haha... Seeing them fighting really like watching sword dance....
The stupid selfish human:
* Li Tong Guang. OMG i don't know what the heck inside his head. He's over and over can't overcome his own feeling for RY. But this is also i feel is the minus in writing his character. He's such fickle human being. One minute he so determined to make RY as his own, but the other minute, after RY or YZ talk sense into him, he just change his mind so instantly. And that's just continue the pattern till the end... UGH!!!
* Li Zhun [Emperor of An State] & his prince. This is the perfect example of apple fall not far from its tree. Like father like son, both are very selfish till the end of the stage they don't care about their country & just about themselves.
* The third prince of Wu (I don't know his name, nor I found in the cast). I know he's been wrongly treated for his entire life. But when ur Kingdom in state of war & yet u still think of urself is really something...
Overall this really good drama to open this year....

The story revolve around Chun Family. The single mother that raise 4 daughter, with their character & uniqueness themselves.
1st daughter, Chun Jin Rong (JR). With materialistic characters, that turn out offer more that the eyes meet the first time.
3rd daughter, Chun Ban Xia (BX). With smart & stubborn character, that in the end learn not all her ways is always right.
4th daughter, Chun Ke Ling (KL). The youngest & childish one in the family, that in the end learn to group up & take her responsibility in the world & in the household.
And finally our FL, 2nd daughter, Chun Pei Lan (PL). One woman that at first, take the responsibility to care of the house herself, to the end learn to let go her 'responsibility' & choose her own path, with her man... Haha...
Really interesting to see how these woman grow to be the better self of themselves through out the drama. Of course with each conflict in the family we can experience ourselves in our real world or no stranger in drama world.
Overall this really one interesting drama to watch. With grounded characters & actor/ess.

Everybody has a history in their life, unless you know them from the baby & follow every thing that they do, never judge people from their past.Just like AthenaTheStorierX wrote. This will be much more enjoyable if the story had more focus on the FL & her friend. Or if they just steer the plot better, with better ML whose even though know his wife past he still stand by her side not just judge her instead.
Really hate this kinda plot, where someone judge us by our past. Especially here they also talked how biased man & the worst kind of prejudice against woman can be. Men can be 'naughty' but want their woman remain pure, or in this case the 'pure' man get 'pure' woman. & to make it the story even worse the man keep listen to stupid advise his friend give him.
Just like Shiro, I also want to kick the man in the ball & give him just 1⭐But I also really like the FL & her friends. So yeah 5⭐ for all I guess...

End of the journey
Finally our drama comes to the end. Or is it...? Haha... Keep reading till the end to know what I mean, or if you don't want be spoiled you can just skip reading the end of my review.The story continue by the problem:
1. Qin Yu is paper people, which mean he don't bleed. Qin Chuan (QC) & his friend start to notice this. So Yian Yi Yi (YY) has to think fast how to fool these people or anybody from noticing this problem.
2. QC's mom start making problem with YY. Cause she think YY is the main reason why her son (QC) start to rebel against her. And I'm quite happy later on after QC & his mom have 1 on 1 talk she finally understand QC's feeling.
3. Like season 3, QY comes to real life has consequences for both QY & YY. And this season/part that consequences start to reveal itself. It start effecting QY & YY health, especially YY's health. Cause like Book Officer already explained in season 4, QY kinda take a little bit like life source/energy from YY.
Overall this little short drama serve us with full plate. Haha... One good & complete story to tell. This season (4 & 5) given take with 45 Min duration it's about 12 ep or with 30 min duration it's about 17 ep. Yeah longer than previous season & in my opinion kinda bored. I'm more enjoy previous season than this one.
The spoiler!!! Just keep reading if you want to know. If not just stop until here! Read with your own risk!
They keep the open ending with possible future story!!! Don't know should be happy & excited to watch the continuing of their story or just being indifferent. Because for me this season already quite bored. That's why I lower the score.
And also comes the inconsistency with the plot. Book officer clearly tell QY that he will not gonna remember YY when he return to book. But in the end the writer still decided to leave QY memory intact, cause he still comes back to real life again....
